Mobility, computing power and sensors becoming woven into the very fabric of our lives offers another aspect to our Connected Society investing theme. It also makes life look that much more like something from Minority Report and Back to the Future.

The metal-based conductive fibers are fully washable and sewed into the denim, and a button-sized piece of removable hardware called the “smart tag” allows the jacket to connect to your phone or tablet via Bluetooth. Gesture controls and specific functions can be customized with the help of a companion app, but there’s no word yet as to whether that app will be immediately available for non-Android users.

Among the tasks the jacket can perform: offering up suggestions for nearby coffee shops (or other types of venues), providing an ETA to your destination, and changing tracks on your playlist. All of the info is conveyed by audio, so you’re not distracted by screens.
